Reproducibility of figurative terms in musical discourse

The paper analyses terminological potential of the Croatian figurative mul- tiword units or collocations containing basic musical terms such as melodija ‘melody’, akord ‘chord’, tempo ‘tempo’ or ritam ‘rhythm’. By querying the concordances con- taining those terms in Croatian general language corpora – Croatian National Cor- pus (HNK), Croatian Web Corpus (hrWaC) and Croatian Language Corpus (Riznica) – as well as analysing a specialized corpus compiled of papers from Croatian pro- fessional and scientific journals on music Arti musices and Theoria, figurative terms common for both scientific and popular text registers are determined. Taking into account the conceptual content of the extracted collocations, it is determined which collocations can be considered conceptually and linguistically reproducible so that they are not only viewed as figurative expressions in musical discourse, but can be labelled as proper musical terms.
